On a somewhat unrelated note: I have an old Iomega arm board running an old version of Debian and OpenMediaVault, it only has 256 MB RAM, and only uses about 30% of that while streaming DLNA audio. Linux can be super minimal
Yeah Automotive linux is old news. Ford had a Microsoft system, but I haven't followed Automotive much after leaving that induatry.
Monsterlabo makes fanless cases, almost all heatsink, with upward airflow. There is another bramd where heatpipes attach to outerside aluminum finned panels, but I forget the name
I just picked up a Monsterlabo: The First, it is all heatsink for the top 2/3rds so your CPU and GPU are completely fanless, I'm searching for a fanless PSU now. It will be a dead silent PC.
Yeah, exactly. with OpenSUSE having SUSE binaries I'm sure they legal mumbo jumbo just tranafers for covering all scenarios
Yeah sorry EAR, and ITAR.
It's one of those bureacratic things. You could download OpenSUSE in a restricted country and install it, but if you were in the USA and transfered the data to a restricted country you would be in violation of ETAR restrictions, even without the EULA
Its a CYA for SUSE. Certain technologies aren't permitted to be shared outside of USA unless you go through the ETAR and assign if it commerically restricted/unrestricted, etc. If you are in USA you are bound by this anyway, even without a EULA.
They don't know what you may install or transfer, even though it is opensource and you could download in another country.
We get hung up with this at work. We may have a software issue and send to USA parent company for review, they then need to know if the data represents a certain class so they can direct where (country) the software review or fix can be sent for evaluation.
There are obious things like military, but then there are commercial, transit infrastructure, aero, etc.
But it can get stupid, like the parent company received a CAD file I sent in as a demomstration of a display bug. i made a cube 4x4x4. the agent wanted to know what ETAR class it was, I argued it isn't because it is a cube I made as demo only, they would not review till i choose a class from a long list. None applied. But I had to pick one for them to proceed. So somewhere some guy is doing data chain of custody on a cube. lol
In cases where it does fall into restricted commercial interest or other restrictions only a USA citizen can work on the data.
This agreement poses no restrictiona on you that aren't already present if you are in the USA. And you shouldn't need to worry, unless you actively are designing or stealing data to hand over to a USA "enemy" for purposes of espionage , war, weapons etc
They seem to be fine lately, i had 16 last year 17 this year with updates...but I don't follow them closely since Nix and OpenSUSE are my main ones
Yep. i imagine the long time between initial announcement and still waiting, is getting it right for realease. At least I hope that is why it has taken so long
